Cooper Park Farmer’s Market Opens Sunday

Cooper Park’s Down to Earth Farmers Market celebrates its 2014 Opening Day this Sunday, May 25th! The market is thriving along side the East Williamsburg neighborhood it serves. Now in its third year, several new vendors are joining the market line-up this week, including: Full Circle Farm, Saratoga Crackers, Mom and Popsicles, Yellow Deli/Journey’s End Farm, and Samosa Shack. Also, in early June, R & G Produce will debut at the market. These farms and food makers will complement the roster that the Cooper Park community has come to enjoy: Alex’s Tomato Farm, Meredith’s Bread, Tierra Farm, and others.

To celebrate the start of the new season, join us for music from noon to 2 pm by The Triple A String Band. This Brooklyn-based trio plays Appalachian-inspired tunes on fiddle, banjo, and guitar.

Sundays, 11:00am – 4:00pm at Cooper Park, along the sidewalk on Maspeth Ave.
